ChainCatcher news, according to Blockworks, Ripple stated in the roadmap released on Monday that it is accelerating its institutional finance strategy, launching a series of compliance and credit tools, while preparing to launch a native lending protocol later this year.Currently, three compliance features—credentials, deep freeze, and simulation—are live. Credentials associate with decentralized identity identifiers, helping issuers verify user attributes; deep freeze prevents the transfer of funds from sanctioned accounts; simulation allows developers to test transactions without recording them, expanding the compliance toolkit. The upcoming lending protocol will introduce pool lending and underwritten credit, providing institutions with low-cost compliant loans and opportunities for small investors to benefit.In the future, the XRPL community will also develop zero-knowledge proofs, with confidential multi-purpose tokens set to launch in early 2026, enabling collateral management without disclosing sensitive data. The roadmap shows that Ripple aims to position XRPL as a leading blockchain for institutional finance, and its adoption by institutions will depend on balancing regulation and security scalability.

ChainCatcher news, according to Beincrypto, Chainlink community liaison Zach Rynes posted a reminder on the X platform stating: "This is the latest example of misinformation rampant in the XRP community. This time, we discovered a fake KYC account from the Philippines impersonating the U.S. Treasury and issuing fake tokens on the XRPL."The scam post related to the U.S. Treasury XRP wallet spread rapidly once published, with several popular X accounts retweeting it. This fake wallet is said to have interacted with major institutions such as Bank of America and JPMorgan, but on-chain analysis shows it is located in the Philippines, indicating that a non-U.S. account has clearly activated this counterfeit Treasury wallet. Rynes stated that trained individuals can immediately recognize the warning signs in this incident, but "it's hard to know how to address social media scams like this."
